Umbrella Crafts-Permanent Adhesive Dots Roller

I received this Adhesive Dots Roller Thursday when I picked up my order. I had ordered the Permanent Adhesive 6 pack so this was an extra treat for me. I have used both the dots and the strips and I love them both. They go on so smoothly and the roller operates perfectly. I will definitely use both from now on. The price is right and there is 32 feet on each roll.

Surprised by an adhesive!

I've had trouble recently with my roller TAPE (different brand) and had intended to try a different tape runner, but ordered the dots instead. Am I glad I goofed!

The "dots" are tiny - they aren't like the "dot" adhesives, that come in circle sizes of varying diameters. They are tiny dots, arranged in a pattern, than go on in a strip about the same width as a standard tape roller. If used like a standard roller - they work the same.

BUT...here's the good part... if you run it over something like, say, a punched strip or a cut-out image that has minimal surface area, the little dots on the strip adhere only to the back of the paper and the rest are just left behind on the waste paper. So, you can run it over short sections of a punched strip and then adhere, rather than running it through something like a Xyron sticker maker - using less adhesive! It's cost-effective!

I'm looking forward to trying the TAPE next - what I'd originally intended. But am I glad I goofed!

Very Pleased

I have the Scotch adhesive applicator gun however it is too big for some things and doesn't always lay down evenly anyway. And using glue dots for everything else seemed wasteful. So I decided to give the "dots" roller a try. I thought the dots would not have the same problems with starting and stopping -- and so far I am correct. I have been VERY happy with this roller. I can put it on big or little embellishments (but not tiny ones) and it goes on just where I want it and the item sticks where I put it. I plan to purchase more of them.

I prefer the dot rollers to the tape runners. They are better at coverage and easier to use. I will be ordering more when these get used up. I hope the price stays low as that is a big selling point also.

The Tombow tape dispensers are refillable and they have modified it so it won't roll backwards and mess up. A lot less to throw away and they look a lot like these.

Too bad. I prefer the refillable ones. I wish I could find one that you just replaced the tape on. Most of them have a lot of plastic that ends up in the trash.

Whenever I have used an adhesive roller similar to this, it immediately Jams or tears or hopelessly backups, unable to be repaired. Has anyone had the same experience? And is there something that speaks for these that would show they "never" do that? lol -- I swore I'd never buy another one, but I do wish I could find one that would work.

SINCE I HAVE USED THE UMBRELLA TAPE ROLLERS FOR SOME TIME NOW AND RECENTLY THEY HAVE STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING AS OTHER ROLLERS. GUM UP SOMETHING AWFUL AND CANNOT BE RELEASED OR FIXED. I HAVE WASTED SO MANY ROLLERS I AM REALLY DISGUSTED WITH THIS TYPE OF GLUING ! I SAW WHERE THE DOT SYSTEM SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER SO WILL TRY ONCE.

I use Scotch Brand Adhesive Dot Roller (blue dispenser) - Permanent - and have never had any problems with tearing or Jams or backups. Great tape and I usually buy ir on sale. Also the bonus is that it it refillable and very easy to do. Great product!

What's the difference between the adhesive rollers and the adhesive dots? I'm thinking that the adhesive is solid but the dots are sporadic. Do the dots stick as well as the adhesive rollers? Thanks!

I haven't used Umbrella brand but I use dots all the time. When I use the kind that leave a solid line, I end up with snot like gunks on the applicator and it jams everything up. I don't have that problem with dots. And it seems to go around odd edges better - turns and stuff.

I haven't used this brand before but I have used other dot adhesives. I like the dots. I think they go on easier than other tapes. Hope this helps.
